For four weeks in July and August, Harris Teeter donated a percentage of the peaches sold at 150 stores in North and South Carolina. The peaches went to Second Harvest Food Banks here and in Winston-Salem, N.C.

“We are excited to be the first retailer to participate in Peaches with a Purpose,” Catherine Becker, communication manager for Harris Teeter, said in a press release. “Fresh produce[3] is scarce in food banks[4] across the country, and we are happy to be able to contribute nutritious items to those in need.”
